The late-afternoon light softens the slopes of Las Dunas del Mogote, and you can almost feel the sand leaning in, urging you down. Guides gather a small group on Sinaloa Street, then drive toward the peninsula where wind-sculpted ridges rise from scrub and salt flats. By the time you strap a sandboard on, the bay glints behind you and the dunes seem to push you forward.

3–4 hours.
Moderate — comfortable walking on sand for 30–60 minutes and basic balance for boarding.
Moderate fitness is enough—expect uphill walks on loose sand and repeated short runs; guides pace activities for mixed abilities.
Yes for older children with good balance; operators typically recommend supervision and may limit participation by age or weight.
Tours can be canceled in high winds or storms; check the operator’s policy—this provider lists trips as cancelable for bad weather.
No—guides provide a lesson and there are dunes suitable for beginners, though previous board sport experience helps progression.
El Mogote has long been part of the La Paz coastal landscape, used historically for small-scale fishing and, more recently, as a recreational buffer preserving views across the bay.
The dunes are sensitive to foot traffic and vehicle use; stick to guided paths, pack out trash, and avoid trampling fragile coastal vegetation.
